Draft Broadcast Opinions?

This was ABC's first time doing wall-to-wall Draft coverage, and there was also ESPN and NFLN (although AT&T/directTV subscribers aren't getting NFLN right now, due to $$).

What's your opinion on the Draft setup in Nashville, and any opinion on the overall coverage?

I had to turn off ABC when they started featuring Taylor Swift to fill time. I liked ESPN 'cause they weren't all fan-boy for every pick, and had some (seemingly honest) negative commentary on some selections.

I like the big graphic screens, and the color-matching lighting for each pick.

I always preferred NFLN in years past, but eff them after last night...  they went to commercial break and didnt even give analysis of our pick, not even after the commercial break.  I was recording their broadcast and ESPN's, but I'll probably record both again just to see what each says.

That pissed me off!

I didn't like it, but I understood it. Washington picked a QB right before us. Those always get talked about, especially one from a program like OSU with a huge national following.

I have DirecTV and NFLN is working fine. I watched their coverage and thought it was pretty good.

My bad:

https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/att-pulls-nfl-network-directv-sunday-ticket-1203192373/

Subscribers of DirecTV Now and AT&T’s U-verse TV no longer have access to the NFLNetwork — meaning they’ll miss the network’s coverage of the 2019 NFL draft next week.   (other interesting commentary in that article about the possible future of Sunday Ticket)

The house band has been absolutely atrociously distracting. 

I thought it was Sister Hazel or Nickelback or some other band like that. But no, was just some band named Sixwire.  Seems to have some TV cred from American Idol and CMT.

      2025 QB Draft Class

      Rourke on down are fine to pick up at 200 or later, imo value vs what we got in plummer. i think beck drops like a rock and someone takes a stash on that guy. im still ok with ewers, but not in rnd 1 and hes gone before we pick again. and no dont move up or down to go get him. 50s well thats a different and i would understand the appeal.

      watched Blackshear in college, cant believe he stuck. congrats to him, but he's a ST guy at best. Tuten is a low profile guy. unfortunately i dont think i would draft him as i fear the meds. VT RBs are run down in college the last 3 decades. hes a shorter lighter guy. idk if he can 100% stick at the NFL level, but he has been nothing short of impressive, when healthy, at VT and there shitty pass game. he carried that offense for stretches the last 2 years. ollie gordon is an interesting guy that gets very little draft press this year. already a good reciever out of the backfield and great record on the ground the last 2 years. think he slides as he didnt backup the 2023 numbers on a bad team and hes a guy that needs a strong OL to realy highlight what he can do to a secondary. hes a load that looks for contact, but needs that runway to get going. start stop and hard cuts are not his thing. good/great in pass pro, and competent hands. backend of 5, sure take the flier, if you get him a runway with the line we have, he could produce on all phases. and my best for last is nick singleton. he was a monster as a true freshman at PSU. good not great overall production the last 2 years, but that RB room is stacked and both guys split carries. really developed as a blocker and pass catcher this year. take gordon and add the start stop and agility, but with lot less carries overall. personally he's up in the top 5 for me this class. if he drops to the 5th, sprint the card up. i think if we didnt heavily invest in the position, rnd 4 would be fine if he fell there too. i could see him taken early based on a big time combine, freshman year production, and great rate production every year. hes a little more boom, bust and still figuring stuff out, but PSU has such a crazy amount of talent in the RB room, he hasnt had the game reps of others to fully figure it out.
